Copper City is not only gone, its exact
location is in doubt. All that is known about the town that once
had a population of five hundred residents is that it had a thirty-ton
smelter and was able to produce a daily carload of copper. Copper
City was founded sometime during the 1880s and supported a school,
hotel, stores and the usual number of saloons. Records show a
post office was established in 1883 and discontinued in 1890
indicating Copper City was here today and gone tomorrow.Courtesy
